In today’s brief video blog I discuss what a coach is really saying when he or she says to “pull the slack out of the bar.”
It’s a common cue, and one I feel tends to elicits looks like this from people receiving it:
A blank, emotionless void.
All kidding aside, it’s a cue that does hold a lot of weight (<– sick pun1) and accomplishes many things:
- Teaches people to get and maintain tension.
- Teaches people to get and maintain tension.
- Teaches people to get and maintain tension.
- Improves your Spanish.
But for real, it’s a good one.
